The Eternally Hopeful at Explosives Factory tickets
About The Eternally Hopeful
"While there's life, there's hope." - Cicero.
The exploration of hope through multiple mini narratives theorises that humans are inherently hopeful, culminating in a 50 minute collection of songs and stories that either expose the hidden optimist in each of us - or truly affirm our pessimism.
We could all use hope right now, could we not? Or is hope naivety setting us up for failure? Davis’ offering is that hope is innate, and in presenting stories with varying degrees of hope she poses a challenge: Was Cicero right, that while there is life, there is hope? Is it okay to feel hopeful when the world is on fire? Is that perhaps why we must?
With strong, dynamic performances and a stunning score, The Eternally Hopeful is sure to provoke thoughtful, reflective conversation on our values, our hopes and our fears.
